Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-(N-benzylmethylamino)methyl-6-fluoro-1-phenyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalene (0.95 g) in ethyl alcohol (50 cm3) and hydrochloric acid (5 M, 1 cm3) was added palladium on charcoal (5%, 0.25 g). The resultant mixture was stirred under an atmosphere of hydrogen at a pressure of 2 atm at room temperature for 60 h. The catalyst was removed by filtration through a pad of Dicalite® and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to provide the title compound (0.75 g) as a white solid.
